There is a race to the bottom - by the time that a/c are automated to the point that there is no human (or cockpit, for that matter) on the a/c (you could charge a premium to sit up in the front room with the best view) the quality of the pilots will have deteriorated so much because of the low wages, the argument will be over. Anyone care to speculate when the first "drone" airline will take off? Probably about the same time they can figure out how to taxi them back and forth to the runways and to the jetways, automatically.
Ps. There is no more analogue TV so the antennae might be pointing anywhere.
